    Choco cake
    Boris L.

    I'm a Bolivian with Argentinian family members looking for a good Argentinian place in Wisconsin and this place just opened. The food: I got a choripan. The choripan was huge, it had tomatoes and lettuce that tasted fresh. The choripan itself was not spicy (even though I like spicy) but it was really good. I also got a beef empanada. It was tasty and a great price for the size. Lastly, I got the choco cake, it was delicious. The service was amazing, really attentive and they were very friendly. The decorations made you feel like in a small restaurant in Argentina. Lastly, they announce they'll be showing the World Cup 2026, so it's a must if you're Argentinian and/or Uruguayan.

    Lomito pampa with fries. Empanadas for scale. Delicious!

    The cost is very reasonable and the food is exceptional. As a matter of value, this is the best restaurant in Madison.

Food: A nice selection of pizza, split between ones with and without tomato sauce. I got the Lombarda which has Gorgonzola Cream, Pears and Apricot Glaze and Arugula. My wife got a cheese, sausage, mushroom and onion (CSMO). Both of them came out, pipe hot, with nice crisp crust. Nice presentation for both pizzas. They were both good, but I was a bit underwhelmed with the Lombarda. If it had Apricot Glaze, it wasn't very noticable, and maybe was the reason that it needed a bit of salt to enhance the toppings. The CSMO was very flavorful, and clearly the better of the two. Service: Super friendly and helpful service, both when ordering and when the food was delivered. The cashier was patient and happy to give us advice on what their favorites were. Atmosphere: It's a small place. Some interesting vintage large photo print on the walls. You order at the counter, then take a seat at one of the tables along the left side of the restaurant. It looked like there were as many people picking up to-go orders, as there were dining in.

When you walk in, you place your order at the counter, and bring an order number to your table. I'm on the search for the best pizza in Madison, and Novanta made it pretty high on my list. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were simple but delicious, like most Neapolitan pizzas. I'm a huge fan of pizzas baked in stone ovens, and I was not disappointed by Novanta's ovens, which were imported from Italy. The staff was very friendly! They greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed when the pizzas were served. I will definitely be back soon!

With 2 Wood fire pizza ovens and an open kitchen concept, this place was it for me. Pizza: personal size, got the Salsiccia ($13) which was delicious. Crust was amazing, thin but scrumptious. Service: it was empty when I went at 2 and you order and pay first even if dining in. A lady (I believe her name was Lugenia?) was manning the front. Had to ask for napkins and asked for a cup of water. Got the napkins and an empty cup, water never showed up, no explanation. An elderly white couple showed up afterwards and they got the whole speech, come to find out (by eavesdropping) that there's a water fountain in the back. Well now I'm glad I tipped for no service at all. As I was leaving, a young lad was changing shifts with her and he seemed very friendly and thanked me for coming in. So maybe I just got unlucky with the service because he seemed a lot chipper. Parking: in the back, make a right at the light after passing the bagels shop. TLDR: come for the great pizza, but service could probably be a hit or miss. Takeout pizza would be amazing here.

    Last night I needed a traditional type of pie, having been mostly visiting the Neapolitan styled…read moreplaces enjoying their fire oven pizza offerings nearly exclusively for ages. Getting a basic pepperoni pizza with a semblance of something that I hope is more authentic than the corporate versions offered by places that are the McDs of the US pizza offerings. Rosati's seems to be the best option in this area of west Madison. The sauce is certainly my preferred sauce type. Very tomato and garlic heavy. Tonight I drove around the cities western streets for an hour trying to avoid going home to have to eat which would mean I needed to cook something for myself. I'm very tired of having to cook for myself night after night. Easter I cooked for the family and like usual I had to do the dishes prior to cooking because the kitchen wasn't ready for me create properly. Following a nice family dinner I was graced with being the one who was expected to do the dishes. Some days I really wonder why I had a family in the first place. Oh yeah, my wife said she wanted children or what was the point. So I was strong armed into it. Now that she wants a divorce I realize that my purpose was served, now that the kids are grown. I'm half way dead serious about that statement. So tonight I decided to return to last night's pizza place because I discovered that they also have a small seating area. The place is a dumpy dive with very standard old school offerings and decor. Seating is sparse and uncomfortable. But the lady serving me was friendly and attentive. The Italian Beef I ordered was massive. Very well filled to overflowing meat and an abundance of hot giardiniera. That was my first time in awhile having this sandwich, and well beyond the last few versions. The jus came on the side. Something that seems like it should be the only way to get it. Back when I very first visited a place of this sort when I first visited or perhaps lived in the Midwest and discovered this creation when I still had very little experience in Chicago and what it was about, I was told to have the Italian Beef dipped. I didn't know what was going to be delivered to my table. It was certainly something that was about to make an impression. You can't eat it with your hands. Though I tried in vain. A huge mess. Still I'm often tempted to get it done that way because I think it is supposed to be done that way. But it is not a good idea. Sure, using a fork is an option, in fact I can only imagine the next best alternative would be to not bother using hands at all and dive in face first. After all, it's a messy procedure. Tonight I tried with the jus as a side to dip. It was still a mess, and this sandwich simply demands to be eaten very hastily. Did I already mention the jus was very good? This is the first time I've ever had it and actually considered adding salt. It didn't need it. But usually it's mostly salt and secondly it is not tasting of beef. I'm thinking if Rosati's has soup, it's probably very good. The only thing I would add is that the meal was served very quickly but the fries arrived lukewarm at most. Because they were still fresh tasting I didn't want to make a fuss. Adding a bit of salt and a lot of pepper, and I was pretty contented. Being an Italian joint I didn't want to embarrass myself by requesting tartar sauce. I LOVE black pepper and tartar sauce with French fries. Most people, including my previously mentioned irritant I'm soon to be referring to as the X, that's among the many things she's been using as a way to insult me for years. One that I admit is a bit legit. But hell, they're MY FRIES! I can enjoy them anyway I please. Thank you very much. Four stars only because I don't have anything else to really compare with nor do I want to state that this is the best of the best. But it's definitely a place I return to when I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff. Prices are great. Service is always from the staff, and that has been my experience at this location every single visit.

    WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ROSATI'S MADISON WISCONSIN ODANA RD…read more Nearly every time lately over the past year there seems to be a problem. Pizza raw, or pizza so over baked to the point of cheese being nearly black and hard, poor service, now this time one of the cooks was leaning over the big white board that food is prepared on for customers resting her elbows and front of body over the board eating food. This is an absolute food safety hazard. Also, bathroom smelly and no paper towels in dispencer to dry hands. I have not experienced this before the last year. This place has really gone down hill. Time to find another pizza place. Rosati's originated in Chicago. I am from Chicago. The owners would be embarrased knowing this especially the food safety concern.

We started eating it within minutes, outside, but it was just a mess. The square slices are a bit weird but not the end of the world. The soggy bottom was a real problem though. It wasn't like the pizza had been sitting steaming for half an hour, it was less than 5 min from when someone handed us the box. I also wasn't particularly impressed with the double crust/sauce - which I wanted because the menu says thin crust and I like pizza with enough chewy crust to feel like I'm actually eating something. The part underneath the toppings felt like standard crust though, while the thick part was heftier (although strangely puffed because it's 2 layers). The toppings themselves were just ok, not all that flavorful. I'm not sure what went wrong with the crust since even in the restaurant it would come out on a pan. Maybe their double crust just doesn't work?

    Good pizza. Lousy communication…read more Came to make an order well over an hour ago. It was a long line, and no direction to indicate if all the people were awaiting MAKING an order, or Receiving their order. So I returned to my car and created my order online. It informed me the pizza would be ready for pickup at 5:45. So I went home and turned the oven on, watched TV and waited in comfort. At 5:45I drove back and by 5:58 I was once again faced with a line of customers. Not a line, but a clump. Some were certainly in a line, three, actually one mommy with two little kids. The rest was a confused group who may as well have been a group of Alzheimer's geezers, judging the dazed looks on the more elderly among them. I stood at the counter where I saw a sign stating "pickup for online/phone orders" Directly across the counter in front of me was the last kid in the assembly line. He was the wrapper, and most certainly, this kid was employed by all appearances in the job that suited him. He was possibly either really baked or simply couldn't find the right length of bus and wandered into this place. I stood there, fully expecting SOMEONE who might be an employee to greet me or perhaps just tell me when/where I might find my pizza. Stunned silence. The entire group, possibly 17-18 in all, dead silence. After beginning to really feel uncomfortable, I saw someone (a veteran of PMs I realized) walkin and go directly to a rack of shelves and pick a pie and leave. So that's how it works. You just walk in grab any old pizza and it's yours for free! Man I feel stupid. I paid for two! But that was where I discovered both my pizzas, and the label stated they were ready for pick up at 5:43
